Chapter 35 The Different Paths of Humans and Ghosts

readx;?“ The female ghost was drinking and reading a book. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"She" sat cross-legged on a futon in the outer verandah of the pavilion, facing the lake, and brought a celadon teacup full of wine to her lips.

Wine, from exotics.

It is a sake made from grapes.

Chai Chen leaned his back against the pillar and sat next to "her".

The grass is lush by the lake.

The smell of grass and green leaves wafts in the twilight.

He took a deep breath, mixed with the smell of Hu wine and the fragrance of herbs and trees, and his mind was calm. Then, he told the "female ghost" about yesterday's events with emotion.

The "female ghost" responded with a match, and her eyes never left the "Qulu Ancient and Modern Yellow" in her hand.

Soon, Chai Chen finished speaking, but the "female ghost" did not reply for a long time.

"Hey, female ghost ......"

Finally, it was Chai Chen who couldn't help but speak.

"What's the matter?" She replied.

He couldn't find an idea for a while, so he quipped: "Grape wine should be accompanied by a luminous glass." ”

"She" looked at the celadon cup in her hand, thoughtful.

"Could it be that if you put it in a teacup, the wine will turn into tea?" she asked.

"Not really," he laughed. ”

"So, what's the difference between using a teacup and using a glow-in-the-dark cup?"

Chai Chen couldn't answer.

The "female ghost" said to herself: "There are always some people in this world, who have many names, drinking green tea with celadon, drinking snow buds with white porcelain, drinking with tea, and drinking Hu wine must be glazed, otherwise, the name is not correct and the words are not good, isn't this ridiculous?"

"I can't mean you. Chai Chen said frankly.

"It's a curse. "Female ghost" said.

"Curse?"

The "female ghost" nodded and looked at him.

At the moment when he met the "female ghost", Chai Chen's heart seemed to have a little mouse, running here with a "squeak", and running over there with a "squeak".

I could only hear "her" say: "Reputation is the most boring and helpless spell in the world." ”

"Why?"

The "female ghost" got up, walked to the coffee table, and opened the small cabinet inlaid below, which contained all kinds of cups: begonia red glaze, tortoiseshell, white porcelain, and several different patterns of the squirrel, jue.

"She" picked up a luminous cup, the color is gorgeous, exquisite, it should be made of the old mountain jade of Jiuquan County.

"This cup has always been used for tea. However, today you said, 'Wine should be paired with a luminous glass,' and when he heard it, he thought that he would want to serve the wine. ”

As she spoke, the "female ghost" lifted the teapot on the coffee table and poured tea into it.

As the sun sets, the clear tea shines through the eggshell-thin walls of the cup.

"She" added: "In the past, when it served tea, its heart was happy, but now, when Xiao thinks about Hu Jiu in his heart, his heart is full of resentment, and it is better not to know." ”

Chai Chen shook his head and said, "I think Xiao Xiang should always have it, maybe you will be merciful one day and use it to serve Hu wine?"

The "female ghost" heard the words and stared at him.

Chai Chen couldn't tell what emotions were contained in "her" eyes, was it loneliness?

Why did he vaguely feel a trace of jealousy and unwillingness?

He didn't want to guess, so he opened the topic and said: "Zhuo Shoucheng is a general, rare, I want to try to win him over, what do you think?"

"Not good,"

The "female ghost" said decisively: "You speak up for him, which is a good thing." went to woo afterwards, but it became ill-intentioned, and Zhuo Shoucheng would not appreciate it. ”

"She" thoughtfulness, he was ashamed of himself.

Then he asked, "How do you know that I am the prince?"

The "female ghost" was silent.

Chai Chen thought for a while, tilted his head to the side of his cheek, looked at "her" and said, "I'm really confused! You are a 'ghost', naturally you know everything." ”

"She" replied inexplicably: "Huanqin". ”

"Huanqin"?" Chai Chen didn't know why.

"Hmm. ”

He suddenly remembered......

- "This is the favorite song of the main hall. ”

That's what he said that day.

A "main hall" revealed his identity.

"Hahahaha!"

Involuntarily, he laughed out loud.

The "female ghost" also turned her head and smiled.

Chai Chen was stunned.

Everything around him was gray, only the people in front of him were colored.

"She" smiled so shallowly.

This soft, nonsensical smile, but he felt that even if he was the bravest hero in the world, he could not resist.

All this time, the "female ghost" never smiled at him.

Either with a straight face, or with a blank face, and even, sometimes, as if trying to eat people.

He remembered what he had read in the history books that King Zhou You also had a favorite concubine who didn't like to laugh, and her name was Bao Xi.

Bao Xi was born as bright as a peach and plum, but cold as frost, since entering the palace has never laughed once, King Zhou You in order to make her laugh, do not hesitate to offer a reward, who can attract a smile, a bounty of a thousand taels.

The courtier Yu Shifu proposed to light the beacon tower and attract the princes to come and run for nothing, so as to make Bao Xi laugh.

When Bao Xi saw that thousands of troops and horses were summoned, she came and went, like child's play, very fun, and couldn't help but smile.

King Zhou You was very happy, so he lit the beacon fire several times. Later, the princes didn't believe it anymore, and they gradually stopped coming. Soon Dog Rong broke through Haojing and killed King Zhou You.

This is the "Beacon Opera Princes".

When Chai Chen read this allusion, he thought to himself, there is such an absurd and ridiculous faint king in the world.

But at this moment, he deeply understood King Zhou You's distress.

If you can make the beauty in front of you smile again, don't say that the princes of the beacon fire show, even if they give up the Jiuding that symbolizes the world, what does it matter?

It turns out that he also has the potential to be a faint king.

However, unlike King Zhou You, his "praise" is not to bring disaster to the country and the people, but to remind him to put the people's society first.

What a blessing!

He gathered his mind and talked to the "female ghost" about the affairs of the court.

Between the words, he became more and more surprised that "she" was resourceful and decisive, and knew the subtleties. "She" was almost as sophisticated in her decision-making as her grandfather.

"You are not as if you have been dead for three years, but as if you have been dead for thirty years. He sighed.

"Being a ghost for a year is equivalent to being a human being for ten years. ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

……

After that day, he went to the pavilion every three days to meet the "female ghost" for the purpose of delivering books.

By discussing books or court matters, the two gradually got acquainted, often had different opinions from the past, and always chatted happily and forgot to eat.

Chai Chen was grateful to fate for a moment.

He and "her" are not the lustful temptations of poor scholars and ordinary female ghosts.

They are the collision of soul and soul.

So fit.

They often say the same thing, the same sentence.

Or, when he said the last sentence, "she" immediately received the next sentence, as if it was not a deliberate effort of mortals, but a guide from the will of heaven.

"She" is the most suitable "person" for him as he can imagine.

The father has countless beauties in the harem, and he can't meet such a person.

He has done ten lifetimes of good deeds to build bridges and repair roads, so he has such a blessing.

With "her", just chatting, or even not talking at all, just silently drinking tea and reading books, is inexplicably happy.

It's a pity that after the happiness, he has palpitations.

The words "people and ghosts have different paths" always come to mind unexpectedly.

It occurred to him that someone would part them for this reason.

Evil cannot prevail over good, no matter how strong "her" spells are and how advanced her deeds are, her father can always find someone who can deal with "her".

……

What's the solution?

I heard that there is a folk spell called "borrowing the corpse to return the soul"?

However, the borrowed corpse is not the same as it was.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

As long as "her" soul is still the "female ghost", which shell is it, and what does it matter?

That day, he was thinking like this, and unconsciously, he walked to the courtyard of Jiying Hall and saw Chai Jue's back from a distance. He and a teenager were being punished.

He wanted to step forward to tease Chai Jue, but the young man turned his head sideways and said something to Chai Jue.

Chai Chen was instantly stunned when he saw that side face.

How could his "female ghost" be here?
